July
Depicting some of Liverpool’s most memorable events and occasions in the month of July.
On This Day 12th July
Two key events on this day 12th July 1974. One very significant new signing. The other event was a huge, huge shock departure that not only shook Liverpool Football but also the whole of football. Firstly, the signing.
On This Day 11th July
Two outgoing transfers on this day 11th July for two very popular players. The players in question were Dietmar Hamann and Peter Crouch. Read about their time at Liverpool below….
The Dark Side
These players are indeed very rare. A direct transfer of players between Manchester United and Liverpool is virtually a “no-no”. The last player to move directly between the two clubs was Phil Chisnall back in 1964 when he moved from Manchester United to Liverpool. A move to or from the dark side is virtually unheard […]
Robbie Keane
Happy Birthday today to Robbie Keane. Maybe not the signing we all hoped he would be, Robbie Keane joined Liverpool from Tottenham Hotspur in July 2008. After scoring only seven goals in 28 appearances, Keane returned to Spurs in January 2009. Today he will be enjoying his 38th birthday.
David James
It seems that our goalkeeper discussions have been going on for donkeys years. Who has been worthy appears to be the question. Ever since Ray Clemence, some fans will arguably announce that virtually every custodian we have had have not been top drawer. You decide for yourself. One such custodian was David James.
Fernando Morientes
Yesterday we posted about Fernando Torres. Today it’s the turn of another Fernando. This time, Fernando Morientes. On this day, 5th July 2006, Fernando Morientes left Liverpool after a less than successful time with the club it has to be said.
Fernando Torres
It was such a popular signing. And a very high profile one. It cost us a lot of money as well, but well worth it. Who was it? On this day, 4th July 2007, we sign Fernando Torres from Atletico Madrid. The fee was a large one for that era – £20.4m, but as touched […]
Luis Garcia
Has he ever answered the question so many fans have asked over the years? The question is not which was his best Liverpool goal? Or, who was his most difficult opponent? Or, did it cross the line? (he has answered that question actually). No, nothing like that. The burning question is,
A Tale Of Two Managers
On this day 1st July is a bit of a tale of two managers in some respects. Two manager’s from two different ends of the spectrums really. Our most successful manager on the one hand and another manager who, to many observers, should not have ever become a Liverpool manager. Let’s have a look at […]
On This Day – 4th July 2007
The day after Luis Garcia departed, Liverpool introduced fellow Spaniard, Fernando Torres as their new £20.2m striker. Torres signed from Atletico Madrid and soon became a Kop icon with his goal scoring exploits. He scored 33 goals in 46 appearances in his first season, followed by 48 goals in 94 games over the next two […]
